The time was 2:40am,the Hummel house was quiet,all the lights were off,and everyone was sleeping.Well,not everyone.The back door to the kitchen slowly opened and Quinn slid right into the house.She carried a paper bag in her left hand and closed the door with her right.She locked the door and made her way towards the stairs.
A bright light turned on in the living room. "It's a little late for stroll don't you think?"The voice called.She walked into the living room to find Kurt sitting in the brown reclining chair that sat perfectly in the room.
"I was just sitting outside for a while."
Kurt noticed the brown bag that the blond held in her hand but didn't question anything.He knew she was lying but it was too late for twenty-one questions. "Well,you should try to get some beauty sleep..it's the first day of school,and we do not want to have a crabby Quinn walking around"Kurt said.
Quinn chuckled a bit and nodded in agreement, "Yeah,that's not a bad idea."Kurt turned off the living room light and followed her upstairs.They reached the top and split off in different directions,they both turned their head "Night"Kurt smiled. "Night"Quinn returned the smile back,entered her room and closed the door behind her.
After closing the door she made sure Kurt was completely in his room and asleep before she could do anything.She never knew when the door would randomly pop open,and he'd walk in.She counted to 40 in her head.With a sigh she opened the brown paper bag and pulled out a dark pink and white box.Her hands shook as she stared at the big bold lettering on the front of the box.This was not something she saw herself buying the beginning of her Junior year.Maybe when she was done with school. A graduate of an Ivy league school,top of her class,a degree in the fine arts,engaged to a guy she met while walking into a coffee shop just half way down the road from her dorm,an elegant wedding with all of her close friends and family.But she never imaged herself buying something like this so early,and at 17 years old.
7:30AM
"Quinn,you don't want to be late!"Burt yelled from the bottom of the stairs. she pulled the pink stripped comforter up to her chin and kept laying in bed.She got no sleep last night after sneaking out of the house at 2 o'clock.Her eyes darted for the clock that hung above her study desk.7:32 it read. "Quinn come on!"Burt yelled once again.It felt like her body was glued to the bed,no matter how many times she tried to move she just couldn't. What if she faked being sick?It wasn't a complete lie,she did feel nauseous,and thinking about it just made it a lot worse.It was the first day of school,and she couldn't miss the first day of her Junior year.
"Quinn!"Burt yelled again,this time getting a little aggravated.He sighed and made his way up to the second floor."Quinn"He knocked,and opened the door.With that Quinn threw the covers off,threw her feet over the bed and sat up."Quinn I've-oh you're already up"Burt said.She nodded and looked the man in the eyes "Yeah,sorry I was just thinking about what I should wear."She lied."Well, Carole and Kurt are in the kitchen waiting..they made waffles and bacon but you only have 15 minutes so get dressed,and grab a slice of bacon on your way out" Quinn forced a smile on her face,"Got it...I'll be right down"
She grabbed a few items from the closet,changed,quickly put on a layer of foundation,a swipe of mascara,and grabbed her book bag off of the desk chair.She was almost out of the bedroom door until the pink box laying in the waist basket next to the bed caught her attention.There was no way she was just going to let it sit there in the wide open for all to see.What if Carole walked passed and saw it while she was at school?Or Burt.So she once again quickly grabbed a handful of Kleenex and threw it in the waist basket.
"Quinn we're leaving!"Carole called.
"I'm coming!"And with that she swooped out the door and down the stairs.Hitting the bottom of the stairs,she met Carole and Kurt at the door.Carole turned her head and looked at the young blonde and smiled "Ready?"Carole's smile could light up the whole entire house.She was always so cheerful and always in a good mood.Unlike Quinn who seemed to be in a huge situation and had no intention in smiling at the moment.
"Ready?"Carole asked.With a forced smile Quinn nodded "Yup"And with that the 4 of them walked out the door and into the sunny warm air that filled Lima Ohio,
